Our pickets bave been along the Chickahominy pers 3 and from the demonstrations made by the rebelson the other side it isexpected that our men will meet with considerable opposition in crossing. Colonel Irwin’s 49th Pennsylvania has had the post of honor during the morning. The whole regiment has at times been guarding the creek. Their orders were not to fire unless the rebels attempted to cross the river, and this they bid not the daring to attempt. The party doing picket duty on the other side was part of a regiment of Zouaves, uniformed in red capsand breeckes and white shirts—a very pi icuous uniform. They were posted in an open field, and, as soon as our men advanced to tue creek, would withdraw into a dense wood, and attempt to draw them on, but our officers re- strained them. Our pickets several times attempted to draw the enemy’s fire, as many as twenty of them grouping tegether for the purpose; but the rebels refused. Their purpose evidently {s to draw our men on into the woods on the opposite side of the creek, and then attempt to snare them. The Chickahominy at this point is about sev- enty feet wide, and at the site of the burnt New Bridge is about twelve feet deep, though at other points it is considerably less. ‘The other side is very swampy, and the bridge to be erected will be one hundred and thirty feet long. The engi- neers made an examination of the binks this morning, in order to ascertain the most suitable place for the new bridge. They did sounder the protection of our pickets, but the rebels made no opposition The old bfidge was built on plies, which are burned off down to the water’s edge, and the engineers thought tt would be better to build a new bridge on pontoons, than to recon- struct the old one, and are now diligently at work to accomplish their object Tougapat Mornino, May 27 —Thestorm of yes terday continued until this moraing, when the wind veered round tothe north, and thesun shone out Ia all bis wonted glory. Therain fell in such copious quantity, however, that it was idie to think ef marching any distance, especially as our route would lie through an enemy’s country, 80 that the order was countermanded. The sun being out so bright during the day, will soon dry up the roads, and, as the toon bridge !s ready, we will no doubt march this afternoon. During the night a battery of artillery was sent to the creek to protect the working party , but no annoyance was given by the rebels. For about the last thirty minutes—it is now about 2 p. m.—we have heard sharp firing off to the right, some six or eight miles distant, in the direction of Gen. Porter's division, and have no doubt but that we wll be ordered to advance some time during the night or morning. If so, and the rebels offer a determined resistance, a gen- eral battle may be brought on before night. Just asf finished the above paragraph, a lull began between the reports, and in a few minutes they ceased. About balf an hour afterwards we beard some ten or twelve reports, when they ceased altogether. About seventy reports were heard. The mail will be closed before I will be able to ascertain the cause. THE BALL OPENED. A few minutes later, after occasional s hots, the affair on our right is becoming somewhat serfous. The reports of the disc! and explosio n of the sbeils cay be heard very distinctly; while volley after volley of musketry peals upon theear. The firing of artillery is very sharp; while the sound of the musketry {s at times almost continuous. The balloon is up, on a line almost directly to the west of our encampment, and apparently in the vicinity of the engagement. Our men are becoming very much interested, and stand inexcited groups in various parts of the encempment, watching the operations of the balloon. Laos to the reports of the mus ketry and artillery, end debating on the prospect of an immediate »dvance. Ashort time ago, when the pickets were re- lieved, and were leaving the creek, the rebe ls brought ups piece of artillery, and threw four shells after them, but without ey any damage. Our fresh pickets occupy the same line, but have not been molested. The men are In good spirits, ready and spoiling forthe fight. - THE REBSLS OUT-GENERALED—THE CHICKAHOM- INY NO DEFENSE. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer } fuxes MILs BrYonD Bottox's Bribor, May 25.—The information derived from the prisoners taken at W illigimsburg was to the effect that the Union forces would be obliged to fight a terrible battle before they could croas this insignificant stream—the lege FI The enemy, no doubt, intended to make this river the line of their defense; but, thanks to the skill of General McClellan and other scientific officers, their whole plans were futile. Three hundred thousind men could not now defend Richmond, sccording to the original perl pare for the reason of the peculiar of the Union forces. They are obliged to fall back to the outskirts of Rich- mond, and form new plans. They are completely out.

Our left having safely passed the Chickahom- iny, on the Bottom Bridge road, it was thought that no stand would made. Yesterday we learned differently. Our extreme advance, under Gen. Sherman, made a reconnoisince to the right of our line, in the direction of the Mechanicsville turnpike, and found the enemy in force. A spirited artillery fight ensued, which ended with no other result bee Ses show the position of the enemy. The New Bridge road, and in fact all the approaches om their left, are well covered and rotected by thelr guns. As to the number of freir forces there can be but little doubt but what they have concentrated sufficientto outnumber us greatly. This is not particularly disheartening, when we remember tbat in this force there are many who are conscripts, and more who are un- disciplined and poorly equipped. eh LATE FROM THE SOUTH. The Vicksburg Wag reports that ‘prudential preparations are being made by the government to save the valuable stores which have accumu- lated at Memphis. Everything that could be of service to the army in the whole city has been turned over to the officials by the business men, and this, too, was done with the utmost cheerful- ness !n almost every instance. ‘The supplies thus secured are enormous in quantity, and the soldiers will have reason to thank the generous and pa- triotic citizens of the Bluff City for a long time. of course this was not done without sacrifices be- ing madein many instances, but the general ver- dict is—better thus than that the should fall into the hands of the enemy.” The Richmond Whig says :—‘‘ Gov. Baylor, of Arizona, was lately in Vicksburg, on bis way to Richmond, and spoke very favorably of affairs in that Taal He is confident of being able to hold it. Fort Craig, he thinks, has ere this fallen into our hands, and Gen. Sibley will soon have Fort Union. Hesays between six and seven thousand Mexican troops, who had espoused the Federal cause, have abandoned it, and are now with us. He speaks very highly of the country, and says it is the most valuable in the Confede- racy.” THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MERRIMAC. The Whig says: ‘fhe pilots of the late Con- federate States steamer Virginia, request a sus- pension of public opinion as to the statements re- sp cting themselves, appeared Monday morning in the published official report of Commodore Tatnall, detailing the loss of that invaluab! steamer. The pilots state that the investigation, which will doubtless be had in a few days, will put the matter In {ts proper light. A “In this connection (says the Petersburg Ez- Cc we may add that evidences, which cannot doubted,reach us daily of the terror which the Virginia created with the entire Yankee fleet. The enemy themselves sepa the witnesses, she could have Old Point and captured every vessel in C jpeake bay or York river without realstance. What hopecana people have when such an engine of warfare is wantonly destroyed. REPORTED BATTLE IN GILES COUNTY. The Whig of the 2ist says: «The Lynchburg Virgtnian of yesterday says that intelligence bas been received there of a very successful affair in Giles county. A large force of the enemy, su; to be about five thousand, was caught between the forces of Generels Heth and Marshall, near the narrows of New River. The enemy seeing their predicament, broke and fled without making a ay a Some of them took to the woods and others the river, throwing away every- thing that could impede their progress. ‘setween fifteen hundred and two thousand of them were captured.’ {t is said that four splendid mountain howitzers, im; by the enemy from Belgium, were a part of the secured by our troops. ‘They surrendered all thefr arms and pro ty and were paraded We have reason to belleve this siya yu J amma dispatches received re y. The Waig discusses with much anxiety the question of FOOD FOR RICHMOND. “The city was never more crowded than itnow is, and the question of ‘feeding the multitude’ assembled here is one that challenges attention. The monopoly of the means of transportation by the quartermasters and commissaries of the Con- federate government is the chief cause of the scarcity of provisions in this city. Little or no regard has been paid, as we understand, to the necessities of the cominuaity. Ifone day in seven had been conceded to the railroad companies for the exclusive accommodation of the public, it is probable that the supplies of b&con, butter, etc would have been much larger, and that instead of ascarcity there might have been something like an adequate supply of bread and meat, etc. The encroachments of the enemy, the confusion prevailing in some districts of the interior from Which supplies have been received, with. drawal of rolling stock and other cau , Ma) render useless any attempt at this time to afford relief; but no harm could result from an official notification from the heads of the departments mentioned, that on certain days of the week the railroad companies would »e at if! to trans- port provisions or breadstuffs to this city, with- out ‘let or hindrance’ from the Confederate au- thorities.”” . The Warg of the @ist fears thatthe city may have its supplies sto; by a sudden caval dasb of McC fllon open te Sallronde: ve ‘* We must call the attention of the Quarter- master and Commissary General to the im) ance of organizing trans; tion upon the James River Canal. That work will be found adequate to conduct the communication with the wu per country, if timely steps shall be taken to a all the batteaux and canal boats in order. [t plain that the enemy may make a cavalry dash upon our rallroads and in! their wie, but if the canal be put and kept in good working order, the sup- plies of the upper country can be brought down with sufficlent rapidity maiotain our army. We hope this important measure will be attended to immediately. Indeed we trust it has already received the attention of the Confederate and canal authorities. Let not an indignant public be awakened suddenly to the important fact of an insufficient communication with the interior. Let not the Confederate authorities give occasion to comments which impair public confidence in the cause; and let the President of the canal take masures that Virginia shall receive an uate reward in the 24 of her capital, for the 1) Wisdom with which she has cons ructed that {m- portant work. ‘* We infer from reported movements of the en- emy that it is his purpose to move on our railroads na interrupt our commynication with the inte- tior.
